What happened when the royals proposed: Private engagement stories of the Queen and Prince Philip, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, Kate Middleton and Prince Harry and more.
April 01, 2022 - 12:12 BST Chloe Best All eyes were on Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew, Kate Middleton and Prince William and more during their engagement photocalls – but the moment the royal brides-to-be said 'yes' was much more intimate. Instead of organising grand public gestures, Prince Harry chose a cosy night in to pop the question to Meghan Markle, and Jack Brooksbank proposed to Princess Eugenie at sunset in Nicaragua, before they went on to get married in front of the world.
Speaking to Mishal Husain in his first interview after sharing the news, the Prince revealed:"It happened a few weeks ago, earlier this month, here at our cottage; just a standard typical night for us." The proposal caught the actress by surprise while the couple were"trying" to roast a chicken. Meghan said it was"an amazing surprise" and that it"was so sweet and natural and very romantic. He got on one knee.
A statement from Buckingham Palace read:"The Duke and Duchess of York are delighted to announce the engagement of Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice of York to Mr. Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. Her Royal Highness and Mr. Mapelli Mozzi became engaged while away for the weekend in Italy earlier this month. The wedding will take place in 2020. Further details will be announced in due course.
She said:"The lake was so beautiful, it was a special light and I even said 'this is an incredible moment' and then he popped the question, which was really surprising even though we had been together seven years. It was the perfect moment because we knew it was going to end up this way." She added:"I was over the moon, crying." The Princess has since shared a photo of the idyllic spot where Jack proposed on Instagram.
